1. Letter to Secretary Shalala Re Workshop on Autism 

Senators Grassley and Harkin have asked you to sign a letter (draft attached) to HHS Secretary Shalala asking her to direct the Surgeon General to convene a workshop on autism. 

This looks to be a good thing. Incidentally, we have received a letter from a Kansas family (Donna and Dick Emerson of Stillwell) encouraging you to support this workshop. 

DO YOU WISH TO SIGN THIS LETTER? 
Yes X
No

2. Joint Resolution Re "National Down Syndrome Awareness Month" 

Senator Moynihan asks if you will co-sponsor the attached resolution designating October 1993 and 1994 as "National Down Syndrome Awareness Month." This resolution looks fine and purely ceremonial. 

DO YOU WISH TO CO-SPONSOR THIS RESOLUTION?  
Yes X
